My husband is in his early 60s and he is a type 2 diabetic. Obviously this is not to be construed as medical advice, but on days when he does yard work or strenuous fixer upper stuff around the house, he often can skip his insulin because his blood sugar acts like a normal person's. He has also had some luck controlling his blood sugar spikes with amla, otherwise known as Indian gooseberry. He takes a supplement I order from eBay. He's running out of insulin now and we can't afford it if it is $500 a box (we're lower middle class and just barely scraping by) we will have no choice but to try to control his diabetes without insulin. He has also had good results from taking white willow (B. alba) 2 capsules every evening to prevent diabetic eye swelling and headache. Another thing that really seems to lower blood sugar is well-crafted, homemade food (typical American peasant fare like roasted potatoes and bean soup) because of its etheric richness. Diabetes, I believe, is a product of etheric starvation. My husband is addicted to heavily processed food and does not cook. I don't have time to be his full-time chef, plus he eats addictive things whether or not I cook. I believe if I cooked everything he ate, his diabetes wouldn't be nearly as bad. During the lockdown last year when I was making all of our meals and when he ran out of processed foods to eat, he went for several weeks with no insulin.

Does either of you have health insurance? If not, see if your state will let you buy insulin without a prescription, and then try the cheaper insulin that you suck up out of the bottle (as opposed to those expensive pens). Your doctor can also prescribe the cheap stuff if he’s willing to do so. If you have insurance, have your doctor find out which brand the insurance sells cheapest. There’s usually quite a variation in price between brands. (The pharmacist won’t know the cost, any more than you do, until she “runs the prescription,” which can cause a lot of back-and-forth with the doctor, so have him find out the prices to start with.). Good luck and let us know how it goes. And don’t forget Gofundme.

What kind insulin costs $500? In my area, goodrx shows CVS pharmacy sells lispro (Humalog) for $44.60. Is the $500 for one of those basal insulins that also includes ingredients that slow the stomach and stimulate the pancreas at meal time? I understand those are very expensive. I've been seeing some of them advertised a lot lately.

Is Indian gooseberry something you can raise in your garden? How about the white willow? (and what is the B of B. alba? I'm thinking the willows I know are Salix.

World-wide, diabetes 2 is becoming so common!

My bad, I meant Salix. Betula is birch.

Unfortunately, whatever insulin the people in the videos are getting costs the moon -- I'm sure they'd buy it for $44.60 if they were given a choice.

Indian gooseberry is tropical, so I suppose you can grow it if you live in the tropics! Otherwise, I have not looked into trying to grow it indoors... If anyone tries it, let me know!

Jerusalem artichokes or Sunchokes, are supposed to be good for controlling diabetes. Maybe something to consider for your garden?

Thanks for this! I have eaten sunchokes before but I have not grown them. They are very tasty, plus they're a hardy perennial because they are the sunflower family. I'll definitely start growing them this year.

I replied already, but maybe I'm misunderstanding what a box of insulin is. It is a box of several vials of insulin? --'cause where I quoted a price above it was for a single vial. How long does a box last?

It depends on how many “units “ (drops) of insulin the patient needs daily. Pens contain 300 units, I forget how many units are in a vaul.

—Her Grapeship

It's five pens to a box.

How long a box lasts depends entirely on how much insulin you need, which varies a lot from person to person. If you look at the videos, you see a good snapshot of the range: The mom whose T1D kid is on a low-carb diet goes through one box a month. The 24-year-old T1D man uses four boxes a month. There may be people who need more.
